Author's note: Whelp, it looks like number 18 has officially won. And thus votes are closed, so please don't send any more through the reviews. Something interesting is that even if I was still taking guest votes that Zangya still wouldn't have won as she would have had 13 where 18 has 14, which is too bad...For some. For others it is a terrific thing that should have been in place since the beginning, either way I hope that you continue to read either way! So without further ado LETS GO!

Vegeta was in his room staring up at the ceiling, deep in thought. This had become a regular thing for the the prince ever since his rival Son Goku died. His whole reason for continuing to train was trying to surpass and kill the man, but without him...What reason is there for him to train? The prince could faintly hear his cousin Celera and his ally Sauza training down the hall from him. He sighed. "Ridicules." And turned over on his side, ready to go to sleep. But his eyes snapped open when he heard the doorbell ring. "Blasted thing, why'd we even install it in the first place." He mumbled closing his eyes again, trying to sleep. He was almost there, when his intercom rang. "Its for you, cousin." The overly cheery voice of Celera said, awaking him from his half dream. "Dang it." He whispered to himself getting up and walking toward the intercom. When he reached it he pushed the call button and spoke. "Fine." He grumbled, and walked out the door.
He walked down the long hallways of the ship, heading toward the door that lead to his ship. Another door opened for him and he his the open button. The process was much faster than it was before as he'd had the gears updated by Bulma do he wouldn't have to wait so long for the door to open. He briefly wondered who was bothering him, but dismissed the thought when he saw the cool black hair of Videl. "Mr. Vegeta!" She calls, happily flying towards him. "STOP CALLING ME THAT!" He yells catching her in his arms. Briefly he noticed that her appearance had changed since they'd last trained three months ago. Her hair had gotten longer and she started to put it in long pigtails. Vegeta glanced at Madeline. "Any reason your here?" He asked shifting the nine year old girl in his arms. "We're going to move in with her father, I've finally found him, and he's going to start paying for all the years we've been living here." She gestures around at the area around them. "So I take it we won't be enjoying your company anymore?" He said putting Videl back onto the ground. Madeline waved her hand. "No, we won't completely leave you guys, that'd be too mean. We're going to visit, and your always welcome to come visit us, your basically family now." She said giving him a lighthearted smile. Vegeta returned it with a glare. "And Videl wants a ride on my ship before we say goodbye?" He says raising an eyebrow. "Yea, I do too." She said with a shrug. "OK, come on in everyone, we depart in an hour." He said turning away from them and stalking inside. "May as well get dressed now." Vegeta murmured lowly, looking down at his blue jumpsuit and bare hands.
Within the hour Vegeta way dressed and Sauza had started the ship. On the bridge Celera and Madeline sat back in a few chairs they pulled over, and talked about girl things Vegeta wasn't interested in. Videl was staring out of the veiwport in utter awe at the vast white clouds. Vegeta himself was standing away from everyone, arms crossed and a scowl on his face, now fully dressed. And Sauza was busying himself with piloting the ship. "Mister Vegeta! We have a problem!" Sauza said getting his attention. "What is i-" He was cut off by an explosion ripping through the hull of the ship! Vegeta was lurched forward and grabbed ahold of a bar near him. "What was that Sauza!?" He demands looking at the blue skinned Brench. "Something that is coming again! Brace yourselves!" Sauza calls right as another blast slams into the ship!
"Now we're going to have problems." Vegeta thinks standing back up. "I'm going out there! Sauza take this ship down!" Vegeta says putting two fingers to his forehead. ZIP!
Vegeta looks around vehemently, daring whoever shot his ship to do so again. Suddenly he sees another blast heading towards his ship. Unthinking he throws his hand out, and fires a blast of his own. It plows into the other blast sending careening away! "Stop attacking my ship and face me!" Vegeta yells baiting his unseen adversaries to try their luck again. "Aw man come on! We were just trying to have some fun!" A cocky male voice called from below him. "Correction, you were trying to have fun, I just wanted to go shopping, but noo! You say a ship in the sky and you just had to shoot it down." A sarcastic female voice calls from below. Vegeta looks down to see two people who could have been twins calling up to him. He sets his jaw, crosses his arms, and descends down to there level.
The first thing he noticed was the girl. She was quite pretty, and had blonde hair and an unnatural electric shade of blue eyes. The next thing he noticed was that he couldn't sense them! Vegeta frowned deeper in thought, but would not bring it up as it could be used as an advantage against him. The girl for her part seemed rather surprised to see him there. "Hi." She greets. "I'd say sorry about your ship but, that was all seventeen's fault." She says shooting a glare at the male. He has dark long hair that comes down to his shoulders in the style of his sister, and he had the same unnatural blue eyes as her. "So it's him that I need to kill." Vegeta says shooting a glare of equal intensity at 17. Seventeen, for his part, shrunk under the glare of the two arguably best glarers on the planet, and argued back weakly. "Hey man, I just thought it was a ship full of people I could kill, I didn't know that there were fighters inside! But about that whole killing thing...I'm up to a fight if you are!" 17 said, shocking Vegeta. "You...Are?" Vegeta was surprised to say the least, there were two people floating in front of him who he couldn't sense, and one was asking him for a fight. "Yea man, sure! It'd be great practice for Son Goku and his friends. And that old man." 17 added darkly.
Vegeta's face fell at the mention of his rival. "Kakarot's dead." Vegeta said simply. "He died of a virus about three months ago. How do you now about him?" Vegeta elaborated. "Yea, we're androids we were designed to kill him and his friends in the name of the 'glorious' Red Ribbon army." 18 said pointing at the symbol that decorated 17's shirt. Vegeta shrugged. "Well I have no reason to stop you from killing Kakarot's friends, however I cannot allow a blatant assault on my ship to go unpunished." Vegeta said turning to face seventeen, in all reality he wanted to test this 'Android' too see if he was a capable fighter. "So I have to ask, does an android like yourself ever experience fear?" Vegeta said lowering into a fighting stance. "Haven't yet, but I gotta ask, does a..." He trailed off. "Hey uh, what is this guy anyway?" Seventeen said looking at his sister who sighed. "Looks like he's a Saiyan, the prince if my data is correct?" She adds glancing at Vegeta for conformation. "Yes that is correct, machine, I am the Prince Of All Saiyans, prince Vegeta, a Saiyan Elite, and a Super Saiyan! Vegeta answers, swelling his pride even further. "Well, has a Saiyan like yourself ever got humbled by an android?" Seventeen says completing his joke.
Then the Android and the prince lowered into fighting stances and sized each other up. An audible sigh came from eighteen. "Well if you two are going to fight, you better do it soon, because if you remember brother dear we're on a schedule." She said, drawing a glare from both fighters. "Just let us have our fun." 17 said looking back at Vegeta. Then they launched at each other! Each throwing blow after blow but, neither being able to make any headway as one continued to block the other's strikes. After a moment of this the two each landed a punch that the other met with their own. Vegeta powered up trying to overpower 17's own punch. Seventeen for his part was trying to do the same, but with the obvious absence of any detectable power level. Eventually Vegeta hit the wall of his base form, and was sent sailing away from 17's stronger punch. "Oh right, we kinda forgot to mention. We don't actually run out of energy, we have infinite power." Seventeen said as Vegeta pulled himself back toward the fight. "Well, than i'll just have to up the ante on my fight then."
Vegeta then began to power up, golden energy arced around him and his hair flashed golden. "Ngh, i'm a little out of practice, but no matter. I'll still win and show that android what happens when you mess with Prince Vegeta!" He thought as his hair turned golden fully, and his eyes changed to turquoise. "And we may be able to impress the blonde one." A small voice in the back of his head said quietly. Vegeta did not shush it for once. Then he threw his arms out to his sides and stood straight up, now bathed in a golden light. "Prepare yourself!" He called lowering back into a fighting stance. "Prepare yourself! 17 said charging a blue blast in his left hand. "Oh we're playing that game then?" Vegeta said charging a blue blast in the palm of his right hand. "Power Blitz!" Seventeen called throwing his hand forward. "Big Bang Attack!" Vegeta called throwing his hand forward. The blasts collided mid-air in an explosion of light and heat! "I'll win this, i'll show him!" Both Vegeta and 17 thought, each trying to overpower the other.
Below, on a hill overlooking the battle
"So, what's happening now?" Sauza called from underneath the ship, where he was working on fixing it. "Well, I think Mr. Vegeta is locked in a beam struggle with..." She trailed off and turned to the blonde next to her. "His name is Seventeen, right?" She asked Eighteen, who brushed some hair out of her face before responding. "Yea, that's his name." She responds emotionlessly. "Thank you, Miss. 18." She thanks. "He's locked in a beam struggle with Seventeen, Sauza." She tells the Brench. "Well, keep me posted." He says going back to working on the ship. "Hey girl. Videl wasn't it? Why do you call me and Vegeta over there Mr. And Miss. But don't call him by a Mr.?" 18 asks looking down at the girl. Videl smirks darkly, and has a twinkle in her eye. "Lets just say I had a dream last night, my first important one in ages." She says giving a mischievous smirk, and a wink. 18 shrugs and goes back to watching the fight. "You know, for someone so short, he is kinda cute..." She thinks to herself, before stopping herself. "Whoa there 18. We've only been awake a few hours, let's not start throwing ourselves at people." She quickly reprimands herself . "But still." A small voice protests, and she bites her lip.
Back at the fight.
Vegeta felt himself lose before it even happened, his blast was overpowered quickly and he was sucked into 17's blast. Even though he was a Saiyan, and a Super Saiyan at that, he still had limits. Then he felt a fist connect with his face, and was thrown forward. He flew across the sky unable to stop himself for a full 30 seconds. Then he managed to right himself, and spun around to face his Android opponent. "How can anyone be so powerful!?" He demanded as 17 flew near him. He shrugged. "It's not that your not strong, in fact I think your the strongest opponent I've ever faced. The problem is that I have infinite energy and thus can't be beat when it comes down to sheer endurance." Seventeen explained. Vegeta flared his aura. "NO! I refuse to believe that you cannot be beaten! Every fighter has their limits and I WILL push yours!" He rose his power up to his maximum. Energy arced around him, and his aura raged around him raggedly. Then he swung out a punch and slammed his fist into Seventeens face. The android staggered back, and re-entered his fighting stance. "Alright, lets go!" He yelled and rushed at Vegeta, who in turn rushed at him with a fist drawn back.
Author's note: And we are Done! So how'd you like the chapter? And did I do No's 17 and 18 justice in my writing? I sure hope so because that is how I imagined them. This encounter differed wildly from what I had planned but...Not everything's perfect am I right? Anyway things are heating up it would seem as Vegeta and 17 go at it with fist's and legs swinging the only question is who will win between the almighty Super Saiyan Prince or The Unstoppable Infinite Android? Will either 18 or Vegeta admit their feelings for each other? Just what did Videl see? And what does Seventeen mean by 'And that old man'? Find out all this and more on the next update of Heart Of Vengeance.
Power Levels:
Vegeta Base (untrained for three months): 45 mil
Vegeta SSJ: 185 mil
17 (infinite power): 190 mil
18: 195 mil (It was stated that 18 was stronger power-wise than 17)
Everybody else is essentially the same...As far as you know.
Simgr101: Well I will say this, my Celera is so damn adorable. You do need to work on your fight scenes a bit especially for a fight of Goku vs Vegeta. Goku's death moving Vegeta, that is very believable so well done on that.
As for that whole queen I meant her just taking over both of the human populace and whatever Saiyans were left. as for my vote i will not cast my vote for either party cause both honestly don't fit well. Just because their the only other characters with boobs in the show doesn't mean they have to be the ones to get with Vegeta.
Now Cell did have two people which were Vegeta and Frieza that wanted to rule but that didn't define cell. That gave him his ambition form more power and to achieve perfection. Cell once he returned to earth after Goku sacrificed himself I believe he decided he would wipe out all life, that was his purpose. that is what Gero programmed him to do. Not to rule but to wipe out everything that he considered imperfect which is well everything that is not him. Not really evil, just a robot carrying out his orders.
Me: Your Celera?! If anything she'd be my Celera! Haha Just kidding, I planned for her to be the adorable little scamp that everybody loves, but she sometimes makes mistakes that become hilarious like the whole 'Little Prince' thing last chapter. I purposefully shortened their fight so that I could get to the funeral, if I hadn't it would have had to happen this chapter which would make things strange this chapter. Thanks, we all know how important Goku is to our resident prince and without him...He just doesn't have the same drive that he has usually.
Yea I know, I just couldn't help but to point out your implications, besides considering Turles isn't canon here, and no-one knows if Broly is canon or not there aren't many Saiyans left. Actually they kinda do...Again just kidding. They were just the ones that I could picture easily with the prince. And I hope that you continue reading even though I didn't use many of your ideas. I know but... Wouldn't it have made sense for Cell to have had some inkling to rule? He had both Vegeta AND Frieza within him (technically he only has King Cold or Cooler in him because Frieza was killed on Namek in the future timeline this is stated explicitly by Trunks himself, but for simplicity sake lets just say that he does have Frieza's genes.) And also what if Gero was killed before he could rule the Earth? Cell easily could have succeeded him.
Brisklemon: My vote is for Zangya 100%
Me: Your vote was counted, but it just wasn't enough to help her beat Eighteen.
Guest: Zangya please! :3
Me: Your vote was not counted because people have voted twice in the past. But It was appreciated.
